I like to see winter weather in December. I just don’t trust this climate to deliver after Christmas.

The GFS had it down in Mexico at one point lol Another thing I remember is that the HRRR (I think it was called HRRRx or extended back then) was nails within a day or two, at least for northern Illinois.

Consecutive years where December is the absolute worst that our climate has to offer. Makes sense though, since we had some significant action in 2021 and 2022, so now inevitably we wait for awhile for that month's return. Just sucks to have to rely on January in any way. We got very lucky there last winter.

I mean we’re probably fine but just hoping this pattern plays itself out as fast as possible and we get a reset.

My 12/5 call probably got everyone’s hopes up too much. Nobody else was bold enough to make a specific projection like that.
